I'm not. The past 15 days have seen the Bucks fire a coach (Terry Porter), draft a savior (center Andrew Bogut), regain the services of their two most dynamic veterans (guards T.J. Ford and Michael Redd) and apparently hire another coach (Terry Stotts). There's a lot of good news - and a heck of a lot of promise - in that summertime snapshot. It's been a while since so many encouraging things happened to this small-market NBA franchise. But I have issues with how it began. And even more for how it seemingly ended. When Milwaukee general manager Larry Harris abruptly announced June 22 he was firing Porter after two seasons - this after going overboard to pledge his support of the Wisconsin native six weeks earlier - the unspoken rationale was clear: The Bucks, suddenly and unexpectedly armed with the first pick in the NBA draft, wanted a more proven hand to develop a young, resurgent team.</div> Source
This is probably the first time I've ever agreed with Andy Baggot. The Bucks really did screw up in firing Terry right before the draft, even if he wasn't a top coach, it was a dirty, back stabbing move and Stotts is going to have to do a helluva job if I am to forgive Larry Harris.
Very dirty move by Larry Harris. I mean, how can... nevermind, it's easy to backstab someone like that. It's a business and there are people like that in higher positions who are a**holes... doesn't have my approval yet.
